R, L, C components: definition (structure)

Definition

A resistor, inductor or capacitor component is defined by:

• a name (and a comment)
• a model
• specific characteristics depending on the model
• two terminals

Name

The name permitting the identification of the component is given by the user when it is created.

A comment (optional) can be added to the name.

The name and the comment are displayed by default in the graphic zone close to the symbol.

Passive components: description

Characteristic quantities, necessary for the description of the passive components: resistor (R), inductor (L) and capacitor (C), are presented in the table below.
